Translation of the song Alma Mater artist Moonspell
Alma Mater
Alma Mater
Mother Tongue speaks to Me
Mother Tongue speaks to Me
In the strangest ways I've ever seen
In the strangest ways I've ever seen
I know that she sees in Me
I know that she sees in Me
Her proudest child, her purest breed
Her proudest child, her purest breed
She speaks to Me in colours
She speaks to Me in colours
That I can't really understand
That I can't really understand
I only know that they are ours
I only know that they are ours
And to those I'll proudly bend
And to those I'll proudly bend
For I am your only child
For I am your only child
And you my dearest mystery
And you my dearest mystery
From an ancient throne I defy the world
From an ancient throne I defy the world
To kneel before the Power within.
To kneel before the Power within.
For I am your only child
For I am your only child
And you my dearest mystery
And you my dearest mystery
World can't you see it?
World can't you see it?
Am I alone in my belief?
Am I alone in my belief?
Virando costas ao Mundo
Looking all the coats of the world
Orgulhosamente sós
Proudly you are
Glória Antiga, volta a nós!
Glória Antiga,come back to us!
ALMA MATER!
ALMA MATER!
Breaking waves announce my Bride
Breaking waves announce my Bride
It is the only way the Sea could sing
It is the only way the Sea could sing
Legends of Lusitanian pride
Legends of Lusitanian pride
He sings the words I cannot spring
He sings the words I cannot spring
At the Moon Mountain six wolves cry
At the Moon Mountain six wolves cry
Your lost glory we'll regain or die
Your lost glory we'll regain or die
For I am her only child
For I am her only child
And she is my dearest mystery
And she is my dearest mystery
Pagan Gods in conspiracy
Pagan Gods in conspiracy
For the sword of Tyranny
For the sword of Tyranny
Mother Tongue has spoke to thee
Mother Tongue has spoke to thee
In the strongest way they've ever seen
In the strongest way they've ever seen
World can't you see ?
World can't you see ?
I am not alone in my belief.
I am not alone in my belief.
